The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 783 Bite the Golden Tribulation Road (1)

The envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty are here?Is this messenger still the famous Li Shimin?What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Li's father and son?After Yang Yong heard the news, he also admired Li Shimin's courage. He dared to come to Daxing City in person at such a critical moment. Isn't he afraid that I will detain him?However, Yang Yong quickly had several question marks in his mind, and hurriedly called Li Jing and Wei Zheng to discuss.

Li Jing believes that Li Shimin's visit this time is not kind, and he may write a challenge or sign an agreement to seek peace. The former is more likely. It's over, Liang Shidu has also been beaten away, and the border around Youyan has also been pacified. Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji, these three masters have all moved, but Li Yuan's disastrous defeat must not be counted. This time Datang will definitely fight the rebel army to the death, avenge the princess Li Xiuning, and vent her anger for Li Yuan, so Li Jing suggested that Yang Yong be fully prepared.

Yang Yong and Wei Zheng nodded, thinking that Li Jing's analysis made sense.Wei Zheng suggested canceling the plan for the Southern Expedition for the time being, and Xiao Liang left it to Xu Maogong's team to slowly conquer. The most urgent task is to find out Li Shimin's purpose before making plans.Li Jing also agreed with Wei Zheng's opinion.

Yang Yong thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Two military advisers, the matter of conquering Xiao Mian in the south cannot be neglected. The arrow is on the string, and it is bound to be launched. Now the soldiers, horses, food and grass are ready, and the date of going south has been set. The matter of conquering Xiao Mian There is no need to delay, if Jiangnan is pacified, we can free up our hands to deal with the Li family and his sons in Datang. Datang is our formidable enemy. We can handle the situation here, let alone the envoys sent by Datang, it is a large number of Tang troops Come here, what fear is there with this king here!"

After Yang Yong made a decision, he first sent people to inform the prefectures and counties along the way that all envoys from the Tang Dynasty would be allowed to go. .

Then Li Jing was sent to lead an army of [-] to conquer Jiangnan according to the original plan, while Yang Yong stayed in Daxing City, waiting for this unexpected guest.

Yang Yong asked the general Yang Guowen to guard Xianyang, and replaced Zhang Jiaxiang, the silver stick general, to Li Jing. The generals who accompanied Li Jing in the southern expedition were Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Ruixiang, Kang Jinyu, etc., but Yang Yong was still not at ease, and asked Li Waner to accompany his father Go south to conquer Xiaoliang.

After Li Jing and the others took the order, three days later, an army of [-] people left Daxing City in mighty force.

Leave Daxing City when the line of sight is cut.The time was late summer and early autumn in AD 619, and the location was Shizipo sixty miles outside the west city of Puzhou.

On this day, a special team of troops came on the official road leading to Shizipo. The five hundred soldiers and horses in front were the flag of the Tang Dynasty, and there were chariots for women in the middle.Followed by a thousand volunteers.

It turned out that Li Shimin took five hundred personal guards to protect Princess Kaiyang's chariot, took a rest in Puzhou, and then continued on his way out of Puzhou towards Daxing City.

Out of etiquette and safety considerations, after receiving Li Shimin, the Puzhou guard sent another general to escort 1000 people along the way, and told the general to escort Li Shimin and his party out of the border of Puzhou, and their mission would be considered complete. Finish.

In fact, from Puzhou to Tongchuan, the hundreds of miles between the two counties are mostly plains, with no mountains or ridges, only a dozen miles of hilly areas, and the roads are very easy to walk.

The partial general of the rebel army is called Shi Xing, and he said to himself, a few days ago we were still life-and-death enemies, but now they have turned into envoys, we still have to protect them, is that necessary?Can't they walk on the wide and flat road by themselves?This road is very peaceful, there is not even a robber, so why protect it?But there is no way to send the top branch down. Since the general has an order, we as subordinates have to obey it.

Although Shi Xing was reluctant, he had to lead a thousand rebels to follow Li Shimin's team and walk forward slowly.

Today's weather is very sunny, cloudless, the weather in early autumn still does not change the temperament of summer, the earth seems to be on fire.More importantly, there are few villages in this area, the countryside is barren, and there is not even a shade of trees on the white official roads. The further the procession goes, the hotter it gets. Before noon, the people and horses are sweating profusely.

In the ups and downs of the road ahead, there is a vast expanse like a village. Looking from a distance, it is an eye-catching green. Shi Xing knew that it was not a village but a lush forest. He wiped his sweat and drove up to Li Shimin. He clasped his fists and said, "Your envoy, the weather is too hot. Five miles ahead is called Shizipo. There is a forest there. Shall we take a rest there before we go on our way?"

Li Shimin looked at the scorching sun above his head, and it was almost noon, and then he saw that the soldiers under him were all sweating through their armor, and even the horses were sweating profusely. In fact, they left Puzhou City only five or six Ten li, but he also nodded understandingly in agreement.

Soon, the mixed group of more than 1000 rebels and Tang troops drove to the vicinity of Shizipo. When Li Shimin and Shi Xing were about to order the team to stop for a rest, they suddenly jumped out of the woods one by one and blocked the way.

Seeing that this man was big and thick, with a head as big as a bucket, eyes as big as a steel bell, and facial features fairly regular, with an iron helmet on his head and an iron armor on his body, he sat down on a red grasshopper with a big belly, and held an extra-large Kaishan noise in both hands. Axe, the axe is about the size of a small wheel, and when the sun shines on it, it catches people's eyes.

This person rushed out from the woods and shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt from the sky, "Hey! Don't go any further!"

Walking in front, the generals of the Tang army were taken aback. Isn’t this a general? Who is this? What is his brother doing?
At this time, the general turned his big eyes, maybe he was thinking of words, and then continued to shout: "I cut this tree, and I drove this road. If you want to pass by here, stay to buy road materials, toothpaste Boom half a word, one ax kills one and one is buried!" After shouting this, the man whirled the big ax in his hand a few times, and screamed strangely.

Tang Jun was so frightened that he didn't dare to go forward, only then did he realize that he had encountered a robbery.But what they didn't understand was that someone dared to intercept them in broad daylight.Who are they?That is the team of Li Shimin, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Qin Wang Li Shimin and Princess Kaiyang are both in the team, plus thousands of soldiers from the rebel army, [-] are all officers and soldiers, he also robbed?And this guy is still a brother, it seems that this guy is probably poor and crazy, and he wants money but not his life!

At this time, both Li Shimin and Shi Xing had to report. What did they hear, they encountered robbers?Still alone, dare to hit the attention of our 2000 people?How daring, really strange things happen every year, especially this year.The two were almost annoyed.

Shi Xing saw that his trip was not in vain, and he really had work to do. It was his job to protect Li Shimin and his party from Puzhou, so he clasped his fists at Li Shimin and said, "Please envoy!" Wait for a while, and I will capture this thief." With that said, Tima Jieliang came to the front of the team with his entourage.

Li Shimin, who was wearing heavy armor, also wanted to see who was so bold, so he brought a few personal guards and Pegasus to follow.

When Shi Xing rushed to the front of the team to take a look, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse, "Isn't this General Cheng Yaojin? How...how is this possible?"
